How a Geek Beat Vegas

Rolling Stone has a terrific excerpt from David Kushner's new book, Jonny Magic and the Card Shark Kids. According to Kushner's occasionally purple prose, Jon Finkel went from being an utter loser to the absolute master of card games. He started with Magic: The Gathering and moved on to blackjack and poker. If you're into nerd non-fiction, this sounds like a great story. Check out the book's page on Amazon.
